Citrusy Mango Butter
- 2 pounds Mangoes, chopped (about 6 whole mangoes)
- 2 tablespoons Whole Cardamom Pods (about 8-10 pods).
- 1/4 cup Fresh Lime Juice
- 1/4 cup Fresh Lemon Juice
- 1/2 cup Fresh Orange Juice
- 3 1/2 cups Granulated Cane Sugar or Evaporated Cane Juice
- Prepare a water bath, and ready (and sterilize) six jars, lids, and rings (or use Weck rubber seals). Sterilize any other equipment you plan to use- like funnel, measuring cup, stirring spoon, etc. Place a small plate in the freezer.
- Combine the chopped mangoes, cardamom pods, and citrus juice in a wide, non-reactive pot (like a copper pot or enamelware dutch oven). Make sure that the juice mostly covers the mangoes. If it does not, add a little bit of water (about 1/4 of a cup). Bring the liquid to a simmer on medium heat and cook for about 25-30 minutes, until there is very little liquid left in the pot.
- Remove from heat and use a slotted spoon to remove the cardamom pod. Using a stick blender (or a food processor), puree until there are no visible chunks.
- Combine the puree and the granulated sugar. Cook on medium low heat until the sugar is fully dissolved (this will take 10-15 minutes). Increase heat to medium, and simmer gently for another 20-25 minutes, until thickened. Place a dollop of jam on the frozen plate- if it retains its shape and does not weep or run, it is ready.
- Ladle into sterilize jars. Process in a boiling water bath for ten minutes. Turn off heat and allow jars to sit in the hot water for an addition 5 minutes. Allow jars to sit over night before testing their seals. Processed jam will keep for about 6 months.
